...Ethics Reflection Paper July 13, 2015 Professor Carlos Pineda Ethics Reflection Paper The purpose of this paper is to explain the role of ethics and social responsibility in developing a strategic plan, considering stakeholders needs. Included, in this paper will be a reflection on the author’s ethical perspective and how it has evolved. Ethics plays an essential role in both the business and social environment. Ethics reflects the morale beliefs and principles that demonstrate society’s opinion of an action performed by a group or individual that are considered right or wrong (Pearce & Robinson, 2013). Ethics and Social Responsibility Corporate Social responsibility is best defined by the concept that an organization has a commitment to serve society on an overall basis and to meet the financial interests of its stakeholders (Pearce & Robinson, 2013). A good practice would be to separate the needs of the inside and outside stakeholders as this would allow the organization to first determine the needs of each type of stakeholder and secondly meet their social responsibility. In order for an organization to have in a depth knowledge and range of social responsibilities that must be included in their strategic plan, the strategic managers must study the four types of social committee. The four types of social committee include: economic, legal, ethical and discretional social responsibilities (Pearce & Robinson, 2013). Economic responsibilities involves...

A critical thinking component is included in the course. Specific problems relating to topics such as corporate responsibility, employee rights, and the nature of the free enterprise system, environmental concern and ethical business practices. In deciding how to act, managers reveal their inner values, test their commitment to those values, and ultimately shape their characters. In general, Ethics is both an academic “subject” and a thoughtful way of doing things. Theoretical Ethics is that branch of Philosophy concerned with determining what is right (with regard to principles and actions) and what is good (what ends or ideals are worth pursuing and what values are worth holding). Practical Ethics is the art or techne (know-how) of figuring out how to make things better rather than worse with regard to concrete or actual situations. Business Ethics is a type of applied ethics. As such, it is...
